Graphics

REDISCOVER GRAPHICS

Visual design is all about engaging your audience and leaving them wanting to find out more. But grabbing someone’s attention and making an impact today is tough – nearly everyone is a digital publisher. You have to be unique, you have to be creative and you have to be quick – especially when you are selling yourself.

Design[er] Career is all about grabbing your audiences’ attention and holding it through the power of clever and creative design, harnessed using tech. In these two cross-curricular lessons, your pupils will rediscover their graphics skills and learn how to use them to propel their careers forward.

Media Studies

REDISCOVER MEDIA STUDIES

Viral videos. We have all seen them and we have all shared them, helping them achieve viral status. Some are right place right time accidents that resonate with audiences, but most have actually been designed to go viral by big companies.

In these two cross-curricular lessons, you will help your pupils rediscover their media studies skills, helping them deconstruct the anatomy of a viral video and even learn how to create one for themselves.

Music

REDISCOVER MUSIC

Music comes with big dreams attached, and in these lessons your class will start moving towards making some of those dreams come true, with the help of the digital world.

Stream This focuses on the wider world of music, from the laws to the industry roles, to the processes behind getting the sound from the artists’ imaginations to their audiences’ ears. Your pupils will rediscover music, and emerge from these consecutive two lessons with a clearer idea of how to harness their skills and make music work for them.

English

REDISCOVER ENGLISH

Vlogs, blogs and persuasive writing – this is English, how you’ve never seen it before!

Bloggers and vloggers are the rockstars of the digital world, and they have as much of ability to influence the real world as politicians and movie stars. In these two cross-curricular lessons, your pupils will find out how to create blogs and vlogs of their own, and even try it out for themselves.

Maths and Citizenship

REDISCOVER MATHS & CITIZENSHIP

Money makes the world go around, so making sense of how it works and how far it goes is critical to a happy, comfortable life. To do that, your pupils need a little help from technology.

Common sense and tech prevail in these two consecutive cross-curricular lessons combining maths and citizenship. In them your pupils will learn about how money is earned and spent, and use their maths and tech skills to manage their budgets as they step out into the world of work, salaries, taxes and unexpected expenses.

Business Studies

REDISCOVER BUSINESS STUDIES

Digital businesses are transforming the world. This is because they are set up and driven by people who are as innovative as they are ambitious. But the best part is, anyone with a good idea, determination and confidence can set up and run a small, digital business.

In these two consecutive cross-curricular lessons, your pupils will learn exactly what that means, and discover just how easy digital entrepreneurialism can be.

Computing

REDISCOVER COMPUTING

Digital literacy is underpinning society. Soon, every career will have an aspect of computer science, or a digital skill set involved. This is why teaching ‘computational thinking’ as a means to solve problems of all varieties is necessary for social mobility, for pupils of all genders and backgrounds.

In these two consecutive lessons, your pupils will apply the basics computational thinking to both real world and digital tasks. They will then learn how to use these thought processes to solve ‘real world’ problems, before using them to design a simple maze game.
